Change in the mask requirement for City employees
Dear Residents,
We hope you and your family are well. Due to the decline in COVID-19 cases in New York City, Mayor Adams announced that effective Monday, March 7, 2022, City employees are no longer required to wear face coverings indoors.
However, employees must still wear face coverings when interacting with members of the public indoors, including when performing work in apartments or meeting with residents in property management offices. Additionally, we strongly recommend that residents, employees, and visitors still wear face coverings in all NYCHA building common areas, including elevators and lobbies.
For the latest general guidance on face masks, including how to use them properly, please visit the CDC’s website. We also urge you to get vaccinated, including your booster shot, if you have not done so already. The vaccine is free and available to everyone age 5 and older (click here to find a vaccination site near you).
As always, we will monitor the latest guidance from experts and government partners and keep you updated.
Sincerely,
Greg Russ
Chair & Chief Executive Officer
Daniel Sherrod
Chief Operating Officer
